List Love!

The List Concept

6/19/2018

I'm an avid list maker. Sometimes I make lists of things I've already done just so I can cross them off. Beyond organization of tasks and to-do's, lists provide an amazingly simple way to track important information in a concise way. On this page you can access quick content and fun links.

I'll be updating this page regularly to expand a growing list of lists. You can also check the archives section on the right side of this page if you're looking for a list pertaining to something specific and don't want to hunt through the list of lists below.

I hope this page is a fun addition. Tell me what you think. I'm always open for list suggestions too.
